John Arthur Volker- one of Texas's 10 Most Wanted sex offenders- captured in California after 15 years on the run! He was actually on my database of potential cases to profile. Guess I no longer need to worry about him.

In 1980, Sam Gene Harris escaped from a Misssissippi prison where he was serving four years for shoplifting. Over the years, he committed mostly theft related crimes across the US and evaded authorities by using several aliases. He was arrested today in Utah. Simply put, he could have avoided needing to live a life on the run by not escaping from his four-year sentence and stopping his life of crime.

^ You know, I wonder if there's going to be more fugitives caught that way in the coming years. The Baby Boomers are all getting ready to retire, and many will probably try to apply for government benefits. There's a good possibility a lot of fugitives in that age group (50s-60s) could get found that way.
